kevin dickerson - twitch lyrics

i walked down the street to the train
talkin’ to skip about amplifiers again
i need something with more power to carry these low notes
but we had to cut it short because of the noise from the wind blowing into my phone

he worked on my old vibrolux
i thought it was from ’65 but it’s from ‘66
he fixed up that old ’61 epiphone 5+watt
pacemaker i used to record tinderbox

i think it was only two people who listened to it in the weeks after the ghost ship fire when no one knew who i was
it was the first thing i released, and i still can’t figurе out how to put music on my phone

i want to listen to sunburst on the street with my hеadphones
and my battery already says it’s low

had lunch at home today
too many calls to the insurance people
beans and rice and chard on tortillas from la palma and salsa
i need to make sure the wet walls are taken care of

they’re saying we got water damage in the ceiling due to negligence
and i somehow got a bruise on the heel of my left foot

my eyelid twitches
twitch twitch twitch twitch twitch twitch
i thought i was getting enough rest
i don’t know if this twitch in my eyelid will ever go away
it’s been two months and i’ve been taking my b12 vitamin d
and i haven’t had any coffee in three days

i’ve been sticking to my physical therapy exercise schedule
and i’m slowly getting stronger
although i’m aching after standing up too long

i got a ticket from jon from the war on drugs
i was beau’s plus+one again, this time at the fox
those guys sounded like they were under mud

the neighborhood is completely different than it used to be
don’t recognize anyone at make westing no more
n0body recognizes me on the street on the street no more

everyone was white—not just in the theater
there was an ice cream shop open at 8:30pm on the corner

ran into meric at the box office
i didn’t tell him how much i liked his drummer’s drumming
or that i like his albums they’re really something

i bet all the new residents of uptown oakland like his albums too
i stood next to an attractive blonde during the show
she told me about her two grown kids and that she was a soccer coach
i could tell she was getting irritated
like, i’m on a clock, this conversation isn’t going anywhere
and twenty minutes into the set she left and went upstairs

and we all made fun of the crowd
everyone was nine feet tall and looked like they worked out way too much
and i couldn’t see all of adam’s different guitars

so i left upstairs
and the guy next to meric had a seizure and collapsed
the guy got up and got another beer

jon’s saxophone playing is amazing
and haunting i love the sound
i told him let’s talk about working together

if you work hard you will succeed
if you show others your enthusiasm people will believe in you and get into it
stayed up ’til three looking at synthesizers
just four guys with no beers sipping on water

talking about tools for making beautiful music
me and beau and jon and nate
plugging in cables late to modular synthesizers

one of my friends overcame a severely difficult
period of time in her life this year and has now overcome it
she used to live in west oakland and like so many others had to leave the bay area
and now she’s now travels to an office downtown a few times a month
in this newly renovated office building in the molten core of technology
away from the horrible working conditions that triggered her

she got the help she needed to get through her problems
and i’m proud of her for getting through it
she gave me a purple shirt, the logo said “twitch” on it

the kombucha’s on tap
the beer’s on tape
they’ve got cold brew on tap, too

my fingernails go tap tap tap
on the table talking details with the insurance people
tap tap tap
my eyelid goes
twitch twitch twitch twitch twitch twitch
it’s all gonna work out
i just gotta get more sleep

got done with the gym
huffing and puffing and sweaty
in my sweaty black track jacket
there was a woman in the elevator at the gym
i noticed she had the exact same model surgical post+op boot on her right foot
i said “i had the exact same model boot on my right foot too”
she said “how long’d you have it?”
i said, “six weeks” but i didn’t remember which time it was
that i had that exact model boot
was it surgery number three or number four, i can’t remember
was it surgery number three or number four, i can’t remember

and now it’s night time in my house

and i don’t feel like picking up cortéz and moctezuma
and i can’t find “waging heavy peace” so guess i’ll just go to sleep
and i can’t find “waging heavy peace” so guess i’ll just go to sleep
i’m gonna climb into these clean sheets
